anyone else seeing this or is it a pilot error?

I second that. I'm not running anything heavy, background or

This is on a Thunderbird 1200 sporting 512MB RAM. It's not exactly fast

Basically it works fine on -CURRENT, what you are seeing could be
because you have something interfering (anything from ACPI to some old
ISA device), but most likely you are missing SYSVSHM or don't have
sufficiently new X binaries (you need 4.2.1 -Servers, -clients and

If none of the above works, mdodd@ can most likely give you a better

Re: Getting developer previews via cvsup?

 I wanted to download via cvsup a snapshot of -current which I had a decent
 chance of compiling (I need to look at some atacontrol RAID stuff).  So I
 tried to find a -current which had a recent tag, the comment was made that
 DP2 just got a tag, but even a DP1 tag would do.
 
 What should that tag be?  Even a date tag would be useful (-current was in
 pretty good shape as of MM/DD/.  Give it a try.), but I can't seem to
 find *anything* even after Googling for about an hour.
 
 Thanks,

IIRC, current was in good shape between August 12-15, 17, 18, 22-24.

I'm probably a day or two off on a few but it's a decent guess. A cvsup
from about an hour and a half ago is performing fine so far, with the
new gcc imported. *Very* smooth transition, FWIW :)

mergemaster failure

2002-07-12 Thread Munish Chopra

I first saw this a while ago (10 days?) but thought I'd screwed
something up myself. Didn't get a chance to clean the box up fully and
try again until this morning. After a successfull buildworld, trying to
do a mergemaster, this happens:

# mergemaster -i
mergemaster: not found
# /usr/sbin/mergemaster -i

*** The directory specified for the temporary root environment,
/var/tmp/temproot, exists.  This can be a security risk if untrusted
users have access to the system.

  Use 'd' to delete the old /var/tmp/temproot and continue
  Use 't' to select a new temporary root directory
  Use 'e' to exit mergemaster

  Default is to use /var/tmp/temproot as is

How should I deal with this? [Use the existing /var/tmp/temproot]

/usr/src/etc exists, so does the temproot. I've tried nuking the
temproot too, nothing helps. Did I miss out on something or are other
people seeing this?

If it at all matters (can't see why), UP Thunderbird 1200.

Same happens to me, in addition the file systems aren't unmounted
cleanly even if I manually shut down the machine. I built world with
sources from around 11:30PM EST yesterday, and so far I've had only one
random reboot (so I guess it's 'partly fixed'), as opposed to one every
hour on average. I only caught something useful on one of the reboots as
I was hanging around the console for a while:

This was before my latest world/kernel. I'm about to build world again
in the hope that something has fixed it. I'm assuming that my initial
worries that KSE was causing this may be wrong and it's the vfs changes
that have been going in lately (correct me if I'm way off here).

Doing a simple 'make' in the directory is fine, so I guess the

Not exactly an answer to your question, but about a week ago or so a

Same thing happens to me, reboot during the startup process when
ifoncfig tries to get iself an IP from the dhcp server. I didn't have
the time to write down the entire thing, but I'll try to get to it
tonight.

Set your mouse as being /dev/sysmouse in your XF86Config.

Re: pop3 email client

 Hi,
 
 I was wondering if there's a pop3 e-mail client available that you
 can recommend. I want it to run in textmode, thus not in Xfree86 or
 anything, but the mail command is just not sufficient. I like it to
 have graphical elements such as /stand/sysinstall uses.
 
 Bob.
 

This really belongs on -questions...

A lot of people (such as me) prefer to use fetchmail to get our mail
from POP3 servers (or other types of servers that fetchmail supports).
To read mail, I personally use mutt. It's highly configurable, and deals
nicely with mailing lists and such. Both fetchmail and mutt are in
ports.

Re: more -current testers

Very good idea. I probably qualify as a good representation of the type
of users you are targetting.

 I'm considering doing a series of articles on testing FreeBSD-current,
 including: setting up for kernel dumps, what to type at the debugger
 prompt after a crash, filing a decent bug report, what to expect from
 -current, and so on.  I would also make it clear when to not bother
 filing a bug report (i.e., You crashed, but had no WITNESS?  Sorry,
 enable WITNESS  try again.). This would be (I suspect) three
 articles, running about a month and a half.
 

That sounds good. I'm more of a no-BS-get-down-to-business kinda guy
though. I like quick instructions and explanations of why. I should be
able to figure out most of the stuff through whatever comes out of this
thread though. And there's always the handbooks...

 My question to the community is: is it too early to do this?  If I
 start now, the articles would probably appear April-May.

I'm not going to pretend I'm an authority on this, but I think it'd be a
good time to start now. All I am more or less comfortable with is typing
'trace' and looking at stuff I don't know anything about :) Give people
some time to experiment with how the tools work and why they do what
they do. After they've had to use them for a little while and the
feedback isn't complete garbage to them anymore, the bug reports will be
much better and more concise (I'd hope so at least). That would give
then -CURRENT branch a boost at a time when I would guess it'll really
need it. 

Basically, people who are new to -CURRENT like me need some time and
advice to get comfortable with the tools. Then we'll be of much more
help than stumbling around blindly.

 Recompile the app. I'm guessing it is linked statically, so is not
 picking up the latest libpam.
 

Though that sounds logical to me too, I've had the same errors pop up
using a self-compiled 'cups'. I haven't had time to try to chase what's

installworld error (ex: not found)

2002-01-06 Thread Munish Chopra

I've been having some trouble getting this -CURRENT system to do a
proper installworld. I installed a JPSNAP (20011230) with only the /bin
distribution, then cvsup'ed, made world and kernel, and went on to the
installworld. I've done this thrice now (January 3,5,6), and each time I
get the same error:

[snip things going fine]
...
install -c -o root  -g wheel -m 444   xerox1730
/usr/share/tabset/xerox1730
install -c -o root  -g wheel -m 444   xerox1730-lm
/usr/share/tabset/xerox1730-lm

/usr/src/share/termcap/reorder
ex: not found
*** Error code 127

Stop in /usr/src/share/termcap.
*** Error code 1

...so wondering where ex is and what is wrong with it:

[15:26 munish@rn-re116a13 ~] ll /usr/bin/ex
-r-xr-xr-x  6 root  wheel  279952 Dec 29 15:19 /usr/bin/ex

...it's there and fine. The PATH is set fine too. 

So I don't really know where to go from here...hints are welcome.


Thanks.
